I'm also heating from the basement. I've checked and after start-up there's no smoke from the chimney. Maybe I'll try to run it around 500...
I joined the site a couple of years ago when we bought our house with a fireplace. I've lurked... The stove is a different animal though. I guess...
The lower temps were with small loads. The one time I had a bigger fire (fullish firebox) is when I saw the 680 degree F plus temps. The wood is...
Thank you. I guess I'm close to where it needs to be. I'll start measuring door surface temps to see if I'm comparable to you, CrufflerJJ. I...
I realize everyone's stove setup is unique and will run differently but I was just wondering what stove top temperatures everyone runs. I'm very...
I'm guessing it slipped their mind and it was easy to toss another couple hundred bucks to the tree service. Or they think you already have enough...
Calling for 75 degrees here. We're not burning anything for a while.
So was it raging secondaries with a small fire on the actual wood that indicated the primary air was cut way low? I guess I'm not exactly sure how...
Looks great.
DexterDay and HDRock, what did you guys see to indicate that the air was too low? I'm new to burning and am not exactly sure what to look for, etc.
I have very little experience with a chainsaw. After running one a few times I googled chainsaw injuries and bought some the same night. I haven't...
We bought our first house three years ago and it had an open fireplace upstairs and a Country Flame wood stove, not hooked up, in the gutted...
I have black locust stacked similarly for about 2 years. I haven't checked any out since this will be my first year really burning (stove gets...
I'd be afraid those would tip over. How well do the cubes dry? It looks like you've got space between rows but have you done it without the space...
Any way you could store wood on another property? Otherwise I guess you need to stack high, as others have said. Maybe along a fence line. What's...
Have any pics Huntindog1 ? Once things get up and running (hopefully within the next week or so) I'll be trying to do similarly. Our basement...
There's a certain amount of energy available in the wood, regardless of moisture content.
Whatever you put behind the pallet wood, you may wanna paint it black. I've seen people do that with barn wood walls just in case there are any...
Another neat craft to show the wife. Not sure if a two year old is too young for it but we might just give it a shot.
Yes. But we were headed in a little different direction than others. There's a certain amount of energy in wood regardless of moisture content. I...
